He searched all over the barnyard but he could not find Speckle anywhere at all. Days went by and still he could not find Speckle.

Tom went every day to see Speckle and took her some food and water. Day after day the hen sat until the eggs began to hatch. Tom was so happy to see three, then four, then five little chicks.

Cross.gif (1286 bytes)This little story reminds us of the God of heaven Who became a man in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ became a man for the suffering of death that He by God=s gracious loving kindness might die for usCfor our sins. He took the awful punishment we deserved. But then He arose again. To those who put their trust in Him He forgives and gives everlasting life. Have you trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your only God and Saviour from sin? Christ died and arose that we might live forever.
